Nikwax products are in general very good for your expensive 1st world gear. The wool wash is great on newer merino stuff and older traditional wool.

But for the price I couldn't pass up on it. I usually just use horse shampoo and conditioner but it would be nice to test this out. Wool is pretty picky so I'm sure a product designed just for it will be a joy to use.

Love wool but it can be finicky to clean without shrinking or damaging the fabric. This is good to use as opposed to the usual detergent. Kind of expensive and you're only going to get 1-2 washes out of this. About the size of a sofa can. Still better to take care of expensive woolens than risk damage.

It doesn't say on the package. Although I dont smell tea tree oil, I do believe I smell lanolin.

The ingredients are not listed on the bottle. The website is listed as www.nikwax.com so you might try inquiring from them directly.

I wash mine in Nikwax wool wash. Just follow the instructions on the Nikwax container. I always get great results. It will extent the life of your wool and leave then so soft. If you have any more questions you can call customer service. The 1-800 number is on the Nikwax bottle.

Sweaters get soaked in Nikwax, in my final rinse I add a spot of hair conditioner (advice from on NPR interview). Dry on a rack. They come out beautiful.
Jackets and coats go to a cleaners.

I washed a cashmere sweater by hand one time and regretted it. It just wasn't the same.

However, with the same sweater, I washed it again, only this time I used Nikwax Wool Wash. I had nothing to lose. I swear the sweater has been rejuvenated. I even washed it in the machine on delicate. I air-fluffed it with no heat and laid it out to dry. I normally wouldn't recommend washing a cashmere sweater, but I did see how Nikwax rejuvenated the sweater I previously washed and ruined in another well-known American wool wash.
